Sweet Success

Yesterday was an exciting day for Elisabeth Ashlie...we reached 150 sales at our Etsy shop! I know we've said it before (and will probably say it again) but we are loving having this business! It's been so fun for us to explore the craft of jewelry making and take part in all the fun things owning your own handmade business offers! We've had two successful jewelry parties and participated in one handmade market. We look forward to more parties and markets. We so appreciate our customers and the feedback that we've received. We're looking forward to finally being together in one city (I'm moving!!!) and making jewels together again. After all, that's how this whole business started.

Thank you to our customers (especially the ones who come back again...and again!). Without you, Elisabeth Ashlie Jewelry wouldn't be possible!

Continue to give us custom orders...we love a challenge and being able to create something  special for you!

Welcome to CHRISTMAS!

We have been swamped! Today (Black Friday) we ran a 10% off deal in our shop! And it was a hit! I actually had to go buy more mailing envelopes to mail it all!
Today, I completed two custom bridesmaid jewelry orders. And also received an email for another one! We enjoy custom orders, so don't ever hesitate if there is something specific you are looking for!
Sorry for the short post-we have so much to do!

Coming Soon: an Etsy Shop MAKEOVER! ;)

What a Weekend!

Well, Lauren and I had our first two jewelry parties this past weekend. The first was Friday night and the second was Saturday morning. Talk about stress-I was worried that we weren't going to have enough stock for the second party but we were FINE! We probably had about 250 items available for immediate purchase.  And at both parties, everyone got at least one item, and most guests did significant Christmas shopping! Each item was wrapped in our signature packaging so it was ready to be placed in a stocking, or set under the tree.
We wish we could do another party before Christmas but with us living in different states and having to coordinate travel, this time of year is just too busy.
On that note, we have news! Lauren is moving to North Carolina! yaaaaay! Finally Elisabeth Ashlie jewelry will be reunited. We're planning on setting up a jewelry area at one of our places where we can work on everything together again. That was the most fun part of making the jewelry when we first started. We were ale to ask each other questions about the jewelry we just made. We are also planning on doing more Designers Downtown Markets in Raleigh. And maybe more craft shows? We'll see what is available!
Here are some photos from the jewelry parties. Hope you enjoy!
